Rhodes is the number one Greek Island for unique and untouched beaches - on the cusp of a crystal clear sea. The perfect positioning of Villa Lindos Kalliopi means you are only a short 5 minute walk (500 meters) down from your Villa, taking you to the waters edge of Vlicha (Vliha) Bay.

And what a location!

Vlicha Bay is in the middle of the east coast of Rhodes-between the resort of Kalathos and the famous and historic village of Lindos.

Vlicha beach is a stunning crescent shaped, long pebble beach with astonishing clear water set on the bay south of Lindos. A holiday at Vlicha is popular with couples and families looking for dramatic views, a fine beach and a more simple and quieter resort-whilst still close to the most famous and magnificent attractions of Rhodes.

Vlicha bay will appeal to those wishing for a quiet, but not isolated, beach resort. The waters edge is also shallow and gives extra peace of mind for parents supervising children.

At Vlicha bay the nightlife is available but is much more sedate and is made up a few charming bars and tavernas. This offers a peaceful contrast to Lindos-which is only 3 km away and offers the more lively evening out.

Vlicha bay and beach are also renowned for water sports and much is on offer for enthusiasts who want to enjoy the beautiful Mediterranean Sea up close!

Villa Lindos Kalliopi overlooks the entire panorama of Vlicha Bay and your unrivalled location means easy distances to local shops, superb supermarket, excellent butchers, a delicious bakery, bus stop, taxi hire and car hire etc...

Three highly regarded, hotels in the bay have a fairly open policy to welcome outside guests and you can ask to use some facilities and enjoy any entertainment they put on.

A short walk from the villa a regular bus service to Lindos stops and offers a short journey over to this historic and vibrant village...

One of the best things about Villa Lindos Kalliopi is the mentioned close proximity to Lindos. In Lindos itself there are many diverse restaurants, bars, shops and banks. And, of course, the magnificent Acropolis. This means our guests are one step away from all that history, vibrancy and fine dining that Lindos offers. Like much of the Old Town of Rhodes, Lindos has a preservation status declared on it and this means it has managed to maintain its old traditions and styles.

For the best of all worlds-everything is on your doorstep at Villa Lindos Kalliopi and venturing further afield on the island is also simple...

With car hire direct from Rhodes Airport well represented you will be able to hire your car at a reasonable rate and be at Villa Lindos Kalliopi within 40 minutes.

It is a simple, straightforward run between the airport to your Villa.

We will recommend a company to use should you wish.

Rhodes, should you wish to explore, is all yours.

With excellent roads, easy to navigate & in good condition you can do as much or as little driving as you want.

If you wish to see more of the island and become more enchanted by it`s great charms we suggest at least 3 days car hire. We can arrange car hire delivered to the villa (or pick you up from the airport) if you contact us before arrival.

To get to Rhodes Town it will only take you around 40 minutes from the Villa.

A holiday at Vlicha Bay means you are close by to find enough time to visit Kalathos, a small colourful village retaining a good deal of traditional charm. With tavernas down by Kalathos beach. The village of Kalathos is slightly inland and also offers cafes, bars and tavernas.

The nearby Pefkos is a real treat, with good quality restaurants and bars. Pefkos is a 5 minute drive away and has magnificent beaches, shops and tavernas. It also takes on an atmosphere all it`s own during the evening.

5km further from Pefkos is Lardos, this offers a more traditional glimpse of Greek life and has many lovely bars and restaurants on offer both in and out of the main season. Our single biggest recommendation in Lardos for dining is "Roulas" a restaurant taverna that is run by a lovely, welcoming family with an extensive menu offering gorgeous chef specialties, Greek specials and own recipe pizza. The best quality menu on Rhodes and a warm reception is guaranteed (to reserve, when on Rhodes,telephone 22440 44300).

40 minutes away is Prassonissi, the most southerly position of the island and is a favorite with Windsurfers.

The entire island is a pleasure to drive around on and all areas simple to navigate to in a relative short time.

Of course, you may just prefer the safe haven and luxury that our villa offers? The decisions are yours and whatever you opt for nobody doubts the exceptionally good position Villa Lindos Kalliopi enjoys.
